Commission me to knit or crochet for you

Want to commission me for a hand knit hat or a crochet set of coasters? Or something else? Now you can!

Currently I am working on two pairs of socks for an online friend, and I have made many other items on request in the past.

Availability of commission spots will vary depending on how much time I have available, I will decide on a case by case basis.

What can you make? 
Basically any of my patterns, or things that I have made in the past are available for commission. If in doubt, ask.

How do I contact you?
Use the contact form on this site or send me an email to redandthewolf@gmx.com

How much does a commission cost?
That depends on the item, the size and cost of materials and will be discussed with you before you commit to a purchase. All details like size, colours, fibre sensitivities for your commission will be checked and I will make you an offer.

How do the purchase and payments work?
For small items, payment needs to be done in advance, for large and therefore more expensive items, you can make a downpayment before I start work and pay the remainder once everything is finished. As said before, this will be discussed beforehand. The sale will happen through my shop, so you have the security of a known platform as a buyer.

How long does it take?
Again, that depends on the size of the item and how long it takes me to get the yarn in, but I will give you an estimate when you contact me. If you need your item by a certain deadline, just let me know and I’ll try to make it possible.

For more details, have a look at my commissions page.

If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Subscriber hearts for Twitch

Two handknit hearts, one in red, one in purple and green stripes

I love to look at all the subscriber hearts I knit since I started on Twitch.

If you don’t follow my streams on Twitch yet: I knit a heart for every first time subscriber and they can pick a colour for me to use. And because even as a designer, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, I use a pattern by Hunter Hammersen called Palpitation for them. It’s a lot of fun to knit them, and I love the visual reminder of all the love and support I receive. So, as long as I can keep up with making them, I will keep doing so.

By now, I have a big vase full of them and have decided to send them to the subscribers after a total of 12 months subscription. But I’ll still have to get a second container to keep them in, but shopping currently isn’t high on my list of things to do with the high Covid numbers and my asthma. So it will have to wait for a while.

If you want to check out what I do on Twitch, or maybe get a heart of your own, join me for one of my upcoming streams. My current schedule is:

  • Tuesday, 3 pm CET – crafting on a current project and chatter
  • Friday, 6:30 pm CET – crafting on a current project and chatter
  • Sunday, 4 pm CET – subscriber hearts, I read a fairy tale and chatter

Currently I’m working on an embroidered dragon portrait during the week, which I’m making for an art exchange, next project will be a crochet doll of someone’s original character. I’m sure I’m not going to run out of ideas any time soon.

But now I need to hurry and make the most of the current sunshine – I urgently need to take a new photo of available yarns for the subscriber hearts, because some have been used up and I have new leftovers to add to the selection.
